"Magenta" now serves a larger cause

Magenta, one of the acrylic sheet paintings I had listed on Etsy, will no longer be available online. Instead, I have decided to donate it to a charity auction sponsored by my alma mater, Harrington College of Design, to benefit DIFFA, Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS. So if you've had your eye on it and are in the Chicago area, come by the Marshall Field's building at 111 N. State Street this Friday, October 2 from 6-10 p.m. to place your bid.

Though I posted it before, here is a photo of Magenta, along with a description of it:

Dimensions: 8"x10"Media: Acrylic on CanvasYear: 2009

Pink stardust shimmers in a bright pool of magenta and white.The effect is like a cross between candy and stained glass.

I am so glad to have an opportunity to use my artwork to benefit an organization that reaches out and helps people whose lives have been affected by HIV and AIDS.

About Me

I am a Chicago based artist working in a variety of media. I have three primary bodies of work: The Doll Project, Post-Consumerism, and Recessionism. I studied art as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago and interior design at Harrington College of Design and hold a Masters Degree in Painting from Governors State University.

My art has been exhibited in several Chicago area venues, including group shows at The Chicago Children's Museum and the Chicago Center for Green Technology and solo exhibitions at the Harold Washington Library and The Adler School for Professional Psychology.

I also studied fiction writing the the MFA program at Columbia College. So far I have published one novel, A Bitter Pill to Swallow.

When I am not painting, I work as a freelance interior designer and receptionist. In addition to this, I am a Jeopardy! champion.
